global.asa and Microsoft.FileSystemObject

[tiredoldcoder]

Currently I am trying to convert a rather large ASP web app (1700+ files) to
..NET, but I'm having trouble using the FSO in my global.asa file. The
following code sends IIS into never-never land when it gets to Set oTF = ...
:

Function ReadFile(sFileS pec)

Dim oFS ' Scripting FileSystemObjec t
Dim oTF ' Textfile Object

Set oFS = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .FileSystemObje ct")
If oFS.FileExists( sFileSpec) Then
Set oTF = oFS.OpenTextFil e(sFileSpec, 1, True)
ReadFile = oTF.ReadAll()
oTF.Close()
Set oTF = Nothing
Else
Application("Gl obal_Abort") = Application("Gl obal_Abort") _
& sFileSpec & " does not exist"
ReadFile = ""
End If

Set oFS = Nothing

End Function

I have to usually run iisreset to get it straight again. My current
environment is Win XP Pro SP2 and VS 2005 Beta 1. Due to current operational
needs I have to keep my ASP & ASP.NET running together during the transition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: global.asa and Microsoft.FileS ystemObject

I just ran into the same problem. My application is in ASP. In
debugging, I saw the CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject") returns
successfully but the call the fso.OpenTextFil e never returns.
I am running WinXP Pro SP2 and have VS 2003 installed
